I stumbled across an actual cute telnet package with real documentation!
I had previously found out most of what I knew about it from the NSCA telnet
docs.
Did you all know that cute telnet includes scripting and aliases for
filenames? Its script language lets you automated quite a few things
including, of course starting a sesssion at a particular shell and
entering the usual user Id and password, e.g.,
telnet @scriptfile
It is called something like cutecp.zip. If there is some interest I can
try to re-locate the url or figure out a way to make the documentation
available to all interested parties.
I looked inside the executable with a hex editor and discovered various of
the command line options mentioned in the documentation. It also appears
that CUTE is designed to swap to EMS memory when it shells to dos.
Currently, I can save memory when escaping to dos from CUTE by using the
well known program by David Augistine - shroom.com. Then you end up taking
only about 7K of memory up instead of hundreds of Ks.
However, Augistine probably still wants his $25. for a program that is 7
years old or so. Anyone know of another program that swaps a program to
disk or XMS when you shell out to dos from the program?
